Adverse weather caused disruptions at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram, resulting in the cancellation of one flight and significant delays for three others, airport authorities confirmed in a press release on Tuesday evening.
According to the airport’s public relations department, poor weather conditions made it impossible to operate several flights on schedule, affecting passengers across domestic and international routes.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG138, travelling from Medina to Chattogram, was diverted to Dhaka at 9:40 am due to the unfavourable weather. The aircraft later returned to Chattogram at 2:01 pm before departing for Dhaka as a domestic flight at 3:20 pm.
